About R.I.P: Rooftop in Performance was born in 1984-85 under the S.I.P. grant. It has grown in 1985-86 with PTA support. RIP’s goal is to involve students at all levels in various aspects of the production process from writing to performance. The fall semester was devoted to writing (four classrooms) under the direction of a writing team. A school-wide “Name the Play” contest was held. Four selected titles were submitted to a vote. A tie produced this title. January saw production planning and auditions. Rehearsals, held during lunch recess and 1 day-per-week after school, began in February and have continued to this performance. Existing programs (Mrs. Ramet’s Chorus, Mrs. Fisher’s Orff Program, Parent Art) were coordinated into the process.
